Apologies for the delay in updating this blog for some time. I’ve just had a baby you see, and what I’m finding these days is that it really is a plausible excuse for just about any short coming! And justifiably so, apparently babies don’t just sleep all the time allowing you to get around to your chores!
Not something I’d normally write about given this blog is purely about celebrating the frivolous, but having just been through my first pregnancy, I’ve spent the last 9 months as a slave to doctor Google. I don’t know what it is about pregnancy but suddenly you become the most cautious, hyp...

Now the littlest man in your life can also be bang on trend with his Italian made boat shoes! It’s official, we are in love with these miniature suede loafers by Dutch company Le Petit Tom ®.
We admit, they are a tad on the decadent side at approx $70 AUD a pop…but can you honestly resist? It’s high time there were some stylish options for all the little bambinos out there.

We love a celebration – any excuse for a party and a cute theme and we’re excited. That’s why we’re loving the latest craze – gender reveal parties and announcements – could you think of a better theme? After all, the discovery of a babies gender is still one of life’s greatest surprises.
It seems as though the number of couples finding out the sex of their baby prior to birth is on the increase, and is particularly common when it comes to second pregnancies. If this is your second baby you are probably not planning on having another Baby Shower. We think that every expectant Mum deserves a ...

Organic, making the world a better place. We received such positive feedback on our last blog post about our most recent supplier, Pebble kids. It’s so wonderful to hear that our customers share our passion in trying, where possible, to make environmentally and socially conscious decisions about where they spend their money. With this in mind, I thought it would be appropriate to share a bit about Purebaby – supplier of the baby bibs, suits and baby booties used in our Friday’s Child baby hampers.
Purebaby are proud to use only organically grown and harvested cotton – they share an unwaveri...

As we approach Mother’s Day and reflect on the precious bond between a Mother and her child, we are reminded that there are families out there who are not as fortunate as we are.At Friday’s Child Baby Gifts my wish has always been to source unique, beautiful products that would in turn create special baby gifts that you would want to gift. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I could achieve this AND make a positive contribution to the world at the same time.We are so proud to be a new stockist of the Pebble brand. These beautiful baby toys are blankets are both organic and fair trade b...

We love imaginative little details that make a room individual and unique. The nursery is the one place where you can unleash your creativity and go to town with clever little details and touches (where the hubby doesn’t have a say) and design a bright and beautiful space for the gorgeous little baby you’ve been waiting for. These are our top 5 nursery decorating ideas:
Nursery Idea no. 1 – Recycled EleganceIf you're not the IKEA type and you're looking for something vintage and romantic. Upcycling a vintage piece of furniture could just be for you. I'm not particularly 'handy' as such, but I ...

Gone are the days of a safe white or pale lemon for a surprise sex baby! Today we’re feeling so inspired and excited by all the amazingly creative people out there showing us colour combos that we’d have never dreamed of. These pictures prove that a nursery doesn’t have to be the place where style stops – as a matter of fact – we reckon it can actually be quite the feature room.The nursery is the place where you’ll spend the most of amount of time in those early years, so you want to surround yourself in a beautiful space that will bring you pleasure…no matter what time of day or night.Our top...

It’s instances like these that I find myself absolutely mesmerised, not to mention crazy jealous, of how imaginative some people are. ‘When my baby sleeps’ is a captivating picture book by mum Adele Enerson that she created as she imagined the dreams of her new born baby Mila.
Throughout the book we’re transported on an imaginative journey through the irresistible dreamscapes of Mila as a butterfly, book worm, mermaid and astronaut. Adele actually set up these scenes around Mila as she slept to photograph them for the book!
The creativity and uniqueness of this book truly inspired me tod...

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful” – William Moriss
Beautiful things make me happy – it doesn’t need to be anything fancy or expensive, just something, a little interesting detail that catches the eye and gives a moment of inspiration. Life just seems to get busier, corners get cut, and I feel like there’s so little time left to indulge ourselves in those unimportant, frivolous things that give us pleasure simply by being beautiful or fanciful. I think we all need a little corner of the world to escape to, a space to surround ourselves...
